Let’s Have A Party

How many of us have fallen to places in life where we never thought we would find ourselves again?  Our concerned family and friends begged us to get help but, in our self-centered pride, we just continued to walk our rebellious path and we sank deeper and deeper into the darkness of addiction.  Finally, in the chaos of our hopeless condition we called out to the Lord and He helped us. 

 Jesus said there is a party in heaven every time one lost soul turns their will and life over to the care of God.  What a party they had for us!  They celebrated how the Lord lifted us up, held our hand, and guided us to a new life. 

The Lord has not allowed us to die but to live in the power of His Holy Spirit and proclaim to others the great things He has done for us.  We may even find that because we have been healed and restored to new life, our family and friends may want to rejoice and celebrate with us as well.  So, let’s all join in God’s party!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You that I will not die but live and carry the message of Jesus and His redeeming work to others.  I am forever grateful that You love and care for me and have restored me to a meaningful, purposeful life that is worth celebrating.  Amen
